Trying to get custom recovery on my phone I am rooted but with stock recovery. I flashed Agats FH13 and FH23 both flash fine the only problem is now my sd apps disappear and when try to download them again USB storage fail . So I re flash the stock rooted kernel and the problem goes away.
I did try moving all sd apps to the phone first before flashing and that did allow to move back to the sd card but once restarted phone they disappeared again. I would prefer Clock Works since I use Rom Manager but can't figure out how to flash that one with a zip if I have stock recovery. Thank you so very much for your help.

Use Odin to flash the Kernel/Recovery that you need..
You can also use sfhubs autoroot to flash agats FF18 src and then change from there. I didn't think about that.

I highlighted your first problem. Rom Manager is a no-no for this phone and can brick it.
Agat's recovery works just as well as CWM IMHO... and probably safer since he codes against triggering the eMMC bug.

Well I want to get CM9 nightly but when I searched from their site the Epic 4g Touch is not listed. I tried the Samsung S2 file but that failed do they have it under another name? Can't find it under D710 either. Thanks
Also I will get rid of Rom Manager. Thanks

[ACS][Odin]Stock EG30 Deodexed with Root 3.0/Busybox 1.18.4

Big thanks to RoadRAGEN for helping me figure out an ext4 issue! Odin this to get Deodexed stock EG30 with latest root and su binary and Busybox 1.18.4.
This does not wipe data.
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You do this at your own risk.
I have only tested this with the stock kernel and Bubby's CWM kernel.
Download​
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have installed the proper XP or Win7 drivers before starting. Also, remove the SD card from the phone (this may not be necessary, but having the SD card installed has caused Odin to fail for a number of people, so might as well just do it).
1. Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder
2. Open odin
3. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold v-down + power)
4. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)
5. The only box that should be checked is Auto Reboot.
6. You do not need to choose a pit file.
7. In the PDA Section choose the tar file. (Deodexed-Rooted-Busybox-EG30.tar)
8. Hit start. It will do its thing.
9. If it fails than try a new cable.
10. If the phone hangs for any reason take the battery and sdcard out and let it sit for an hour. Put it back together and try again.
reserved just in case
reserved again
Awesome crawrj. You do great work.

This does not contain a kernel. This is a stock file system that is rooted with busybox. I have tested on the root kernel and Bubby's CWM kernel. I have not tested on the Zedomax kernel.
Cool thanks!

File is up.
My phone is not rooted. If I flash this I will be rooted with the Kernel that was on the phone out of box? Also if I then flash Clock work recovery will it change the Kernel to the one others are claiming LOS on?

That is correct. It will be just like flashing with the stock kernel which I have done. If you flash CWM it will change the kernel. Whether or not you get the LOS is up in the air. I have been using it for days and haven't had it yet.
Just so I have this straight, this is a stock rom, no kernel, deoxed so once installed I can flash a theme over it.
I flashed buddies kernel with cwm rooted and flashed back to the stock kernel is there anything I need to do with my kernel or can I just flash this rom?
Edit: he beat me to it, must have been typing at the same time.

Ok...so the only way to have CWM is to change the kernel? I guess rom manager doesn't work for flashing CWM? Sorry if its a stupid question but I have been all over these threads for a week trying to decide which way to root and which way is better.

thanks bro.. One more question does this wipe internal sd card?
This does not have the kernel. I left it out for people to make their own decision on what kernel to use. Once we get a completely stock kernel with stock CWM I will update it. But for now it is just the system partion.

Stuck in stock recovery

Hello, I was on an ics rom and wanted to flash a different, so I mobile odined the el26 kernel which I thought it was the cwm one.... I guess not and now the only thing I can do is get to stock recovery and all that let's me do is apply an update. Is there anything I can put on the sd card ofu other phone and then swap that the recovery will let me flash? I know I can just odin when I get home but trying to do this from work. Thanks

You could put your phone into download mode and install one of sfhub's one click factory restores.
He has one for pretty much every version.

There is one kernel with CWM and one without it.
You'll have to wait until you get home. You have a GB kernel with an ICS ROM and that's why it won't boot all the way. And since you can't turn the phone all the way on Mobile Odin is out of the question. There really is no way to fix it without your computer.

Problem Flashing Roms

I'm currently running the stock EL29 with root and CWM but whenever I try to install a custom rom (AOPK, CM9, etc...) through CWM, it says "Instillation Aborted" as if they weren't made for this phone when I know they were. What's going on?

Silly question, and not assuming, did you use autoroot for cwm?
May want to Odin to el26 and autoroot cwm ans try it that way.
I personally Odin back to el29, autoroot, and (knock on wood) never had an issue.

Usually that happens on a bad download. Did you download them on your phone or PC?
It turns out that is was just the version of CWM that I was using but now I have a new problem. I flashed CM9 and everything worked EXCEPT the data connection so then I flashed AOPK and had the same problem. The only way I can get online is via wifi. How do I fix this?

Check you baseband in settings>about phone. If it says unknown then just flash a modem of your choice. This has happen to me. On several occasions.

I started from scratch and followed all the steps until I ended up in the same boat. AOKP Build 38 working perfectly EXCEPT data. I tried the EL29 and FE10 kernels but neither made a difference.

Try going back to gingerbread and flashing the EL26 kernal. Then flash the ICS rom you want through that recovery.
AOKP and CM9 have problems with data. every time you or system turn off screen say goodbye to data until 1.enable disable airplane mode or 2.reboot that's the main reason I stay away from these awesome roms until source arrives.
These roms are the best. IMO
1.odin back to stock el29 full reset oc
2.boot update profile and prl
3.copy the rom files to sd
4.turnitoff it off
4.enter download mode and flash el26+cmw for AOKP or el29+cwm direct boot for CM9
5.clear cache, factory data reset, clear dalvik on advance menu
6.go back and select install zip from sd card and choose the rom and flash it
7.flash gapps if apply
8.go back and select reboot system
9.enjoy these awesome roms.

I think I FINALLY got it to work. I started stock with rooted EL29 Odin-OC, flashed the "StockCWM-EL26.tar.m5d" in Odin, flashed the AOKP build 37 rom, flashed gapps, then flashed the FE16 kernel AND modem. When I rebooted the data was working.
Not that I am advocating this, and I am far from an expert, but I odin flash a stock rooted rom (SPH-D710.FC22_CL287574_ROOTED-oc-sfx) without going back to el29 just to have a nice clean stock rom to flash over with something else (like FIFO2). I just try to make sure I do everything in the same session so I don't get stuck in a stock recovery.
My order when flashing (non-Odin):
calkulin's format all
Modem (sometimes...if newer is available)
Rom
Kernel (with a custom recovery; sometimes the roms come with a stock recovery so if you reboot before installing a custom one, you'll have to either use odin to flash a custom recovery or mobile Odin)
any additional items that the rom didn't include (like gapps, etc.)
reboot
---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 AM ----------
Another thing to keep in mind is that AOKP was ported to the E4GT. That could cause issues depending on what you're coming from. Make sure to read all the instructions from the dev before flashing. If the worst happens, buy insurance on your phone and smash it...That's what I did with my evo when I bricked it.

[Q]Epic 4g and CWM

Alright im having a bit of a problem and I cant seem to find any threads to help me. I recently flashed an Epic 4G for my girlfriend to a different carrier and while flashing, I installed the CWM from the video QT has on youtube with CWM 5.0.2.7 or whatever and well I flashed CM 10.1.2 over stock before reading MTD and BML and such (Yeah Im an idiot) so I went back to stock 2.3.6 but now when I follow QTs guide and try to do it again to flash deoxed rooted rom, it gives me an error and says (bad) after zip for every/any zip. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Are you back on stock FC09? If not, then which one are on?
v5.0.2.7 is for BML Roms only.
V5.5x.x+ are MTD Roms only.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I'm back on Stock FC09.. No matter what zip I try to flash it fails and says (bad).. I can only think maybe I did something when I went from stock FC09 to CM10.1.2 MTD then reflashed back to stock fc09?

Well, redownload v5.0.2.7 (can get from my devhost in Sig), and Odin that in without reboot checked. Then 3-finger boot to recovery. From there you can flash whatever ROM you want.
If you're on stock FC09, then the stock kernel has reflashed stock recovery since the last time you flashed CWM. On top of that, this would mean you're trying to flash from within stock recovery, which is a no no.

That's where I'm at now. I have the recovery just every zip when flashing tells me (bad) and none flash

OK, so when you 3 finger into recovery it says Clockworkmod 5.0.2.7 at the top? It is possible that either you have bad downloads of the ROMs or the sd card is bad. Which ROM are you trying to flash?

Did you include the PIT file when odining the stock FC09? It should have automatically checked repartition then.

See I thought it was the SD card too so I tried a different one with same results. Im trying to install the odexed one in QTs video... The already prerooted stock rom Ive also tried a few others all with same results :S Sorry for the double post btw.
OK, I recommend you start over. Odin in the FC09 tar and include the PIT file so repartition is checked. Once you have pure stock on the phone then this thread should follow the video by Qbking: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006687. Choose the MTD version for ease to get to CM10

No CWM on EL29 + EL26 Recoverys

I am having issues booting into CWM EL26 + EL29 Recoveries.
I am able to odin the kernal but it just sticks on the Samsung logo if I try to access CWM.
It used to reboot and either go right into CWM or I would do Volume Up and Power to access.
I am currently on Paradox Rom GB27. I am trying to flash a ROM that needs EL26 or EL29 but cant access.
Any idea why I cannot access?
Also, if I have the charger plugged in (usb to comp), the screen gets stuck on a battery icon like its charging but doesnt move.
(think thats just because the charger is plugged in) BUT it seems that whatever this kernal is doing it the phone it is Freezing it at that first boot point.
I reflashed GB27 so im fine for now but just want to solve this mystery.
Any help appreciated! thanks!!

I can try mobile odin. I have the full version. I will give it a shot. The thing is
I had those kernals for over a year, always used them, worked fine.
Now all of a sudden they dont. I tried downloading agai , checked md5, everything appears correct.
I will post back the results.

No luck with mobile odin. Same thing. Stuck at the White Samsung Logo.
I am out of options. Unless there is another kernel I can try that is similar to el26 + el29.
Its weird how gb27 works fine... I just dont understand that. Could something be broke or misconfigured on my phone to not allow
installing el26 + el29?

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. I will stick with Paradox for now.
I wanted to try multi window rom but flashing on gb27 gives force closes and constant reboots.
Is it possible that once im on gb27, I cant go back and flash a gb rom? Ive done it
Before so thats why im stumped. Its like my phone doesnt support it.
I went on rwilco and downloaded multiple files and made sure they were with cwm.
They all do the same thing. Heres one for you... would water damage cause those kernels not to work?
Phones fine besides the kernel issue.
Also is it possible when doing cleanup on my phone and deleting
Old backups cause an issue? I thought to myself... wait I can restore an old rom with
El29! Lol no where to be found, already got rid of them.

I've flashed many ROMs..from GB to JB and back the other way..lol. Never had that problem..you could try to go into recovery and flash the format all x 2.. Then flash the el26 kernel zip..reboot recovery.. I don't know...might work..The format all x 2 will get ya ready for flashing GB/ICS so it might help..once on el26 you can use jb format all x 2 to get ready for the new jb ROM flash..

Try doing an Odin stock rooted Rom flash on ICS and then working from there using mobile Odin. Sometimes I can't do the pc Odin for those kernels so I use mobile Odin and it works perfect.
If you're trying to flash the new SHOShock Rom by TD then I'm having issues with that too. My phone gets stuck on a boot cycle and if I try to flash a nandroid back up then it gets stuck on the Samsung screen. Only way out of it was flashing a GB27 rooted stock Rom in pc Odin.

Good call, @FuMMoD.. I had told him about using mobile Odin...And I figured a back to stock ICS rooted then flash the el29 would be the next thing to try..I just hadn't heard from him if the wipe zip had helped.. Good looking out.. Nice to see people trying to help..This is the best forum...in my opinion..

Just going off from where you left off man. I figured I would put my 2 cents in cause it sure can be a headache sometimes. I noticed when I'm out of luck pc Odin always saves me. I agree this community is great when it comes to helping each other.

Had a similar issue yesterday. I flashed the el29 recovery without wiping the /preload first, and it would not boot. Booted back into gb27 agat recovery via Odin, wiped the /preload, flashed el29 zip, and a successful boot. Don't know if it is the same issue, but that is my story...

How did you wipe the preload? I'm having issues flashing shostock and that might help me successfully flash it. Thanks!

First, download the el29 recovery kernel zip located in the rwilco repository.
Next either flash, or already be on the gb27 agat recovery kernel (also can be found in repository).
While in agat recovery, navigate to "mounts and storage"
Select "format /preload" (and whatever else you want to wipe out)
Back out, then "install zip from SD card"
Flash the el29 zip and you should be good to go.
